The first is to attack with troops, then to attack with friends, and then to attack with war.
War planning is nothing more than figuring out all the information conditions for both the enemy and ourselves, and finally utilizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses to defeat the enemy.
But without God's perspective, who can dare to say that he can understand all the other party's plans? Just count as many as possible. Do your best and obey destiny.
The battle strategy was decided in the Chinese army's tent, and even Tu Li, the surrendered general, participated in the battle arrangements to show the Tang army's trust in him. Because the troops of Three Thousand Xuanjia were too few, they were arranged as an emergency force, ready to support at any time.
Back in the camp, as soon as Tu Li finished writing the battle arrangements for the Tang army, Xiao Rui broke in, scaring him and hiding the cloth.
"H-Master Hou? It's so late, why do you have time to come here?"
Xiao Rui sat down unceremoniously and said with an unhappy face: "Tu Li, why am I here? Don't you know? Are you still pretending? Your incident has happened. Tell me."
ah? W-what happened?
Tu Li's heart suddenly felt like a flash of light on his back when he was stared at by Xiao Rui's eyes, and cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.
Xiao Rui sneered and said: "Okay, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, right? Don't think that you hide it well enough that no one can see it. You are pretending to surrender. If I hadn't helped you plead for mercy in front of the commander, you would have given me more If you had a chance, your head would have been moved today."
ah?
Tu Li collapsed on the ground with a plop, and said with an ugly face: "Hou, Mr. Hou, you are wronged, Tu Li is sincere..."
"Okay, there's no need to pretend. I've known your Turkic military advisor Zhao Deyan for a long time. How could I not recognize his methods?" Xiao Rui interrupted him with a wave of his hand, as if he knew everything.
"If you Tuli want to stay out of the matter and sit back and watch Jieli and Datang fight with each other, both sides will suffer. In the future, you will benefit from Tuli and one party will benefit. This prince may still believe it. But if you are asked to help Datang attack the Turks? Haha, fight. Even the dead prince doesn’t believe it.”
"Do you know why? It's not because you, Tuli, are so loyal to the Turks, but because once you lead your men to attack the people in the grassland, you, Tuli, will be extinct from the grassland and will never be able to be the Turkic Khan again. Betrayal of Jieli Xiao, betray your own tribe? Haha, you can't."
"Am I right? Tu Li? I'm afraid you may have already planned to defect before the battle tomorrow and come straight towards my three thousand mysterious guards."
I, I... don't, won't...
Tuli hesitated.
Xiao Rui simply stood up and pretended to leave, "You still don't admit it? Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Let the commander take action. There can't be any hidden dangers before the decisive battle. I'll trap and kill your subordinates. The trap of 30,000 people has already been It’s dug.”
"No, no, I said, I am indeed pretending to surrender!" Tu Li was completely broken through the psychological defense line, and rushed up to hug Xiao Rui's leg.
Fang Yiai said anxiously: "Brother Xiao, be careful..."
Xiao Rui glared and snorted: "I'm not afraid of Jieli sending a group of masters to assassinate me. How can he hurt me at all?"
Fang Er understood the idea and quickly closed his mouth.
Xiao Rui knelt down and helped the frightened Tu Li with his own hands, "Don't worry, I came here at night not to kill people, but to save your life. As long as you listen to me and do what I say, you Can’t die.”
Tuli nodded gratefully, and then shook his head: "Master Hou, no, if everyone watches me kill the prairie man, then Tuli will never have the face to go back."
Xiao Rui laughed loudly, "Our Tang Dynasty does have insufficient troops, but it's not to the point where we can't win without your 30,000 troops."
"In the decisive battle three days later, I don't need you to participate in the battle directly. You only need to watch from the sidelines. As I promised at the beginning, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, but it still needs to find someone to lead the grassland. Whoever obeys will be the one. You suddenly Li is the first one who is willing to make good friends with Datang, so we have no reason not to let you take the position."
Really? No need to die, and there are benefits?
The ups and downs came too suddenly.
Tu Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a trembling voice: "But they asked me to switch sides and assassinate you at the critical moment... If I didn't join the war, wouldn't it be..."
Xiao Rui smiled and said calmly: "When the Yunzhou Army joins the Chinese Army to join the battle, the Xuanjia Army will be responsible for providing support at any time. Your 30,000 people will stand with me, not entering the battlefield, and just watching from the sidelines."
Hiss...let us stand and watch the battle with you? So trusting? Tuli couldn't help but take another look. Xiao Rui's eyes were full of sincerity, and for a moment, Tu Li's thoughts were in a trance.
He held Xiao Rui's hands tightly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. If Tu Li succeeds to the throne of Turkic Khan, he will never forget the great kindness of Lord Marquis to survive today."
On the way back out of the camp, Fang Yiai asked about her uneasiness, "Brother Xiao, is Tuli really trustworthy? What if he is a repetitive villain and is not good for you?"
Xiao Rui smiled and patted Fang Er on the shoulder, "Good boy, you are starting to learn to use your brain. You are making progress."
"I gave him a choice. He can choose to listen to me. I will fulfill my promise and let him manage the grassland instead of Datang in the future. These are all true."
"He doesn't have to listen to me. On the battlefield three days later, he will continue to be the second and fifth son and turn against me before the battle. Then there will be no mercy left, so just kill him."
Fang Er worriedly said: "But there are only three thousand Xuanjia troops left as guards. It is very dangerous. How to destroy him?"
Xiao Rui comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I have a trick. Do you know how to win without losing when betting against others?"
Fang Er shook his head honestly, "I don't know. I'm unlucky. I almost never win. I always lose money."
Xiao Rui laughed loudly and said: "You kid, I will teach you gambling skills from now on. If you want to always win and be undefeated, you must do it. Under any circumstances, you must first be invincible. And then go out and stand. Bet. Do you understand?"
Fang Er scratched his head and said he didn't understand.
It doesn't matter, you will understand it in a few days.
At the same time, people in Dingxiang City were also making combat arrangements.
King Zuo Xian looked at Xue Li of Liang State who was present at the meeting, and rolled his eyes, "Liang State has 40,000 elites coming. How about Xue Xiangguo leading people as vanguards?"
Xue Li secretly scolded him for being shameless, what kind of pioneer? You clearly want me to lead people to die.
Many people followed and booed, "Yes, the Tang army boasted that they could defeat cavalry with infantry, but the Liang State had 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. Using infantry against infantry must have miraculous effects!"
Jie Li's face was ugly, a war was about to begin, and his subordinates were still trying to squeeze out their allies? Liang Guo has always been hardworking, so it would be nice if he could come with us to support the situation and scare the other side. You ran away from Liang State, and we lost 40,000 troops in an instant.
Zhao Deyan opened his mouth and said, "Well, Zhao heard that someone compiled a list of talents in the world. The top one is Hou Xiaorui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty."
Everyone was puzzled, why did the military advisor talk about this? What kind of talent list is compiled by the good people in the Central Plains? If there is no one in my grassland, what kind of talent list is it? What does it have to do with us?
Just listen to Zhao Deyan continue to say: "The second person behind Xiao Rui is Mr. Xue Li, the Prime Minister of Liang State. They are also top talents. Let the two of you compete, it must be the best choice. .”
Xue Li raised his eyebrows, "I wonder what the military advisor means?"
